This means I pull from a variety of different techniques to fit individual client needs while my foundational modalities remain cognitive behavioral, attachment focused, solution focused and existential/humanistic.
Anxiety, depression, problems in relationships, career, life transitions, cultural/ societal impact or struggling to overcome loss or trauma - these are universal human experiences. Things become problematic when they start to impact our daily functioning and quality of life. We know when something isn't right. We feel stuck, lost or alone. This is where counseling can help. I have spent the past 20+ years providing compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic care to help foster my clients’ cognitive, emotional and interpersonal strengths. I aim to empower my clients' ability to heal, thrive and grow from life's challenges.

Being different, thinking differently and living the choice of life one wants to live is something we all should be able to. However, that isn’t the reality we live it. If you find yourself unable to appreciate and celebrate yourself because of your cultural expectations, choices and societal pressures, you have come to the right place. My intent is to help you understand the anxiety, depression, trauma and relational distress that present as a result of the dissonance of your individual self. I can provide a supportive and empathetic safe space to help you be a medium of your own triumph.

My therapeutic approach is based on CBT, existential, solution-focused, narrative, and mindfulness-based modalities.
I offer therapy to Individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, spirituality, grief, and loss issues. Additionally, I provide therapy to couples who are navigating relationship issues, co-parenting, or seeking pre-marital counseling. I specialize in working with families on issues arising from acculturation that may be causing a rift between the parents and teenage or adult kids because of contrasting religious and family values and Western culture. I use hypnotherapy to do past life regressions to unlock the roots of your current struggles by exploring past lives and finding healing.

Existential Therapists

How does existential therapy work?

Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.

Is existential therapy evidence-based?

Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.

How long does existential therapy last?

The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is existential therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
